How To Attach An Alphanumeric Terminal - Sun Microsystems Enterprise 250 Owner's Manual

How to Attach an Alphanumeric
Terminal
Before You Begin
If your server is configured without a local graphics console, you need to attach an
alphanumeric terminal (or establish a tip connection) to the server in order to
install the system and to run diagnostic tests. For background information, see
"About Setting Up a Console" on page 19.
Alternatively, you can install a local graphics console on the server; see "How to
Configure a Local Graphics Console" on page 22.
For information about establishing a tip connection, see the OpenBoot 3.x Command
Reference Manual, an online version of which is included with the Solaris System
Administrator AnswerBook that ships with Solaris software.
What to Do
1. Connect the terminal's data cable to serial port A on the server's rear panel.
2. Connect the terminal's power cable to an AC outlet.
